“Prayer is more powerful than bullets and faith more powerful than armies”

This is a hard time for parents. I see the United States and Western culture losing any sense of the mercy of God the Father to bring peace and happiness.

Instead I see not just a loss of faith, not just a lost of a sense of sin, but abortionists as well as homosexuals claiming murder and perversion (a form of slow self-murder by sexual disease)is a high good- maybe the highest good.

If the Democrats gain power all persons of faith in the God of the Bible will began to live in a Nazi regime that outlaws Christianity. Like Hitler they claim evil is good. Christians who want to stop slow self-murder by sexual disease caused by homosexuality or murder of unborn babies must be in jail for the “hate crime” of saving human life.

President Bush seems to want to bring the Democrat regime into power. He seems like a crazy king who is willing to destroy his country to help people in a country that doesn’t want our help.

Now he appears to want to bring the anti-Christian regime into power by changing the demographics of the voters of the USA.

If the Latin American immigrants whom President Reagan granted amnesty and the illegal immigrants who followed them into California had voted for pro-life and pro-family candidates, I would be the first in line to say grant amnesty again.

But the vast majority of them have voted like the mayor of Mexico City for abortion and homosexuality. It appears they want their children to be taught abortion and homosexuality in the public schools

It is easy to see that politics will not save us. While we must do what we can to stop the anti-God regime from coming into power by voting and other means, we must not place our trust in politicans.

We must place our trust in God. We need to start praying night and day to God to save us and our children from those who would jail us, kill our children and try to destroy our children’s and our souls.

We need to remember another time when prayer and sacrifice were needed to stop a great evil. The time of Russian Communism.

Pope Benedict had much to say while still a cardinal about how prayer saved Pope John Paul II and the world from the evil regime of Marxism.

He said that God through the Mother of Jesus saved John Paul from the 13 May 1981 assassins’ bullet and countries from “annihilation’ and the Church from “persecution.”

Pope Benedict said “[I]n the end prayer is more powerful than bullets and faith more powerful than armies.”

“The Third Part of the ‘Secret'

“Here it would be appropriate to mention a phrase from the letter which Sister Lucia wrote to the Holy Father on 12 May 1982: “The third part of the ‘secret' refers to Our Lady's words: ‘If not, [Russia] will spread her errors throughout the world, causing wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred; the Holy Father will have much to suffer; various nations will be annihilated'”.

In the Via Crucis of an entire century, the figure of the Pope has a special role. In his arduous ascent of the mountain we can undoubtedly see a convergence of different Popes. Beginning from Pius X up to the present Pope, they all shared the sufferings of the century and strove to go forward through all the anguish along the path which leads to the Cross.

In the vision, the Pope too is killed along with the martyrs. When, after the attempted assassination on 13 May 1981, the Holy Father had the text of the third part of the “secret” brought to him, was it not inevitable that he should see in it his own fate? He had been very close to death, and he himself explained his survival in the following words: “... it was a mother's hand that guided the bullet's path and in his throes the Pope halted at the threshold of death” (13 May 1994).

That here “a mother's hand” had deflected the fateful bullet only shows once more that there is no immutable destiny, that faith and prayer are forces which can influence history and that in the end prayer is more powerful than bullets and faith more powerful than armies.”
